Sci-fi Adventure Game Out There Arrives on iOS and Android

It took a little longer than advertised, but Out There has finally arrived on Android and iOS. The name is a fair description of the setting. You take on the role of an astronaut who awakens to find himself Out There—far from Earth and embroiled in a life or death struggle to save himself and maybe all of humanity. Everything plays out as a sci-fi choose-your-own-adventure with over 300 decisions to make.

Your ship has limited resources, which is a constant concern as you make your way through the story. This game is unforgiving—you might even call it brutal. You'll often find yourself scrounging for parts to keep going, and even cannibalizing your own ship to survive. Along the way more spacecraft will show up, but you always need to carefully consider making the jump. What if the new one lacks cargo space or is too slow?

There is no combat in Out There, although you will encounter alien races and have battles of words. The writing is exquisite and compelling, which more than makes up for the lack of lasers and giant explosions. This isn't the sort of game you play for two minutes while waiting in line at the bank. You need to sit down and immerse yourself in Out There.

The graphics and sound in this title are also out of this world, if you will. The visuals look like a piece of concept art or a comic book came to life. The screenshots really don't do it justice. The soundtrack was composed by noted composer Siddartha Barnhoom. It's moody and absolutely beautiful.
